Nov 13th, 2018Brief chewy tannins. Opened up quickly. Easy and light, very young. Drank beautifully, wildflowers and dense ripe cold fruits.

Mar 31st, 2023If it's on a wine list give it a pass. But, if you need a bottle of red to cook with...GO for it! (Full Disclosure: in my cellar. My bad.)

Feb 14th, 2017Tasted at the vineyard. Dark red. Tried it along side the 2012, which was much less smooth. They had a nice dog and lawn mowing robots.

Jan 14th, 2017Drunk in 5 liters, opened 5 hours before tasting. Still very young and shows great potential.
Ripe fruits well present with long finish

Sings softly. Wisp of hyacinth, cherries, mulberries, ripe plum, a gently spiced finish. Summer is thunderstorm season in sub-Saharan Africa & waiting for the clouds to pass is like waiting for this wine to open fully and deliver a stirring solo. A well-crafted wine from a bio/organic 400-year-old Saint-Émilion château, but ultimately no crescendo arises...possibly because '07 was a challenging vintage. No grand aria, but it does pleasantly sing in the background under the cover of these persistent clouds.
